LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!

Buccaneers doom the Saints VooDoo with turnovers and mistakes as Saints QB Winston returned to his old BUCS style and Marshon Lattimore needs to register for anger management classes. The Tom Brady-led Buccaneers entered the game 0-4 in regular season against the Saints, and left the Superdome asserting ourselfs claiming the division lead with this road-win.

The Buccaneers ended a six-game regular season losing streak to our divisional rival NO Saints. After capitalizing on five second half Saints turnovers the BUCS sailed away for a 20–10 victory. Brady was noticeably flustered, as he broke “another” Surface tablet during Sunday's game. Microsoft's product chief responded on Instagram, saying it "should be just fine." Brady said the NFL warned him last year against breaking any more tablets after his last outburst. He did throw the pigskin for only 190 and one touchdown pass. Leonard Fournette was held to only 65 yards rushing on 24 carries. But the BUCS won the turnover battle, and two clutch field goals and a "pick-6" put the game out of Saints reach. The Buccaneers offense was missing Julio Jones (knee), Chris Godwin (hamstring), and Donovan Smith (elbow), all out with injuries.

The Saints steamrolled the opening kickoff, and drove 63 yards in 11 plays. The BUCS defense dropped anchor in the red zone, and New Orleans settled for a field goal and a 3–0 lead. The BUCS first possession looked promising, as they cruised to the Saints 26-yard line. Facing 3rd & and less than 1, Brady miss-handled a snap, and the Saints recovered.

On the first play of the second quarter, Mike Evans broke free on a busted coverage, and was wide open for a 41-yard gain down to the Saints 31. Facing a 4th & inches at the 8-yard line, the Saints D stuffed us for no gain. Neither team was able to get much going on offense in the second quarter. New Orleans led 3–0 at halftime.

Ryan Succop got us on the board in the second half with a 47-yard field goal to tie the game at 3–3 with 6:49 left in the third quarter.

The fourth quarter began with the Buccaneers driving. The Saints forced a three-and-out, but were flagged for Too Many Men on the Field during the punt, and Buccaneers had a free first down. Facing 3rd & 5 at our own 29, Brady's pass attempt to Scotty Miller was incomplete. After the play, an argument broke out on the field, which escalated into a melee. Marshon Lattimore exchanged heated words with Tom Brady, then traded shoves with Leonard Fournette. After Fournette placed hands on Brady, Mike Evans launched Lattimore into Disneyland’s Tomorrowland, then onto the turf for a WWF brawl… immediately a fight between the two teams ensued. It was the second such altercation between Evans and Lattimore, after a previous one in 2017. Both Evans and Lattimore were ejected, (Evans being the class act he is did stop during the exit to gift a young fan at the sidelines his playing gloves) the penalties offset each other. This followed by a Saints fluffed 26 yard punt.

Jameis Winston deep pass was picked off by Jamel Dean in the end zone. The turnover appeared to spark the BUCS, as they drove 80 yards in 9 plays for the game's first touchdown. Brady found Breshad Perriman in the right corner of the end zone for a 28-yard touchdown pass and a 10–3 lead. Two plays later, Winston threw another interception, again picked off by Jamel Dean. The turnover led to a Succop field goal, and a 13–3 lead with 5:55 left in regulation.

Mike Edwards picked off Jameis Winston, his third straight interception thrown, and ran it back 68 yards for a touchdown to take control of the game with 4:23 to go. The Buccaneers held on for a 20–10 victory, and started 2–0 for the second season in a row. One day after the game, Mike Evans was suspended by the league for one game for his role in the altercation with Marshon Lattimore. Evans has appealed the decision.
